Great experience and nice food and service! Will definitely return again.

I had an incredible experience on the Great Barrier Reef cruise! From the moment we boarded, the crew was friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome and safe. The journey out to the reef was smooth and well-organized, with helpful commentary along the way. We also had the option to explore the reef through a semi-submersible, which was perfect for those who preferred to stay dry but still wanted to enjoy the view. Lunch on board was delicious and catered well to different dietary needs. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the region!

I had a great time snorkelling and diving. the reef was amazing!

I had a great time during my trip. I tried both snorkelling and diving, and all the instructors were friendly and helpful. I thought I could do more activities on the pontoon, but ended up sticking with snorkelling and diving. It was totally worth it because the reef there is one of the best I've seen. I'm happier having tried both snorkelling and diving instead of just one all day.
